JAMES CARROLL Rumsfeld and the big picture By James Carroll | March 27, 2006
’’FORTUNATELY, history is not made up of daily headlines, blogs on websites, or the latest sensational attack," Donald Rumsfeld wrote in a Washington Post op-ed column last week. ’’History is a bigger picture, and it takes some time and perspective to measure accurately."
